This is a new favorite for my family and I – my toddler loves it, too. We use it for dipping vegetables, in wraps or sandwiches and by the spoonful. I’ve seen organic white bean hummus sold for as much as $7 per container in stores – make it yourself and save!

2 Cups White Beans, Rinsed (Cannellini or Great Northern Beans will both do)

1 Head Garlic, roasted in the oven until soft

3 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil

3 Tablespoons Water, Plus Extra to Make it Thinner for Your Blender/Tastes

Juice of One Small Lemon

½ Teaspoon Cumin

¼ Cup Tahini / Substitute Roasted Sesame Seeds if you have a very good blender.

Salt and Pepper to Taste

Instructions

Add all ingredients to a high speed blender and blend until creamy. You may need to add more water, depending how moist your beans were to start - otherwise, the hummus can be too thick and stop the blender from working effectively.

Other suggestions to mix it up - Add

/2 cup fresh Basil leaves

Parmesan cheese

Fresh, chopped Rosemary or thyme.

Serving Suggestions:

Spread on Toast or Sandwiches. I like it with tuna and ezekiel bread, to make a hummus-and-tuna-melt!
